A large number of studies are devoted to studying the effect of patient nutrition on the occurrence and treatment of pressure ulcers. Several studies, including the US National Long-term Treatment of Pressure Ulcers Study, have shown that weight loss and malnutrition were associated with a higher risk of pressure ulcers. One of the successful products specially created for the treatment of pressure ulcers and taking into account the results of research is the high-protein, energy-rich, ready-to-use enteral tube feeding food product Nutrison Advanced Cubison. It is a complete enteral nutritional supplement with an innovative nutrient composition for patients with chronic wounds, including pressure ulcers, or at increased risk of developing them. Taking into account the available data, it seems expedient to continue studying the unique combination of nutrients that make up the study food product Nutrison Advanced Cubison in order to develop the most effective nutritional protocols for patients at risk for the treatment and prevention of pressure ulcers.

Changes in the area of pressure ulcers in both groups during the study
Time frame: up to 4 weeks
The proportion of patients in both groups with a decrease in the area of the pressure ulcer by 20% or more by the date of completion of observations
Time frame: up to 4 weeks
Changes in the Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing values in both groups during the study
Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing (PUSH) is a common tool to monitor pressure healing over time. The PUSH Tool monitors three parameters: surface area of the wound, wound exudate and type of wound tissue. Minimum value is 0, maximum value is 17. The bigger scale is the worse
